I had the sleeve done 12/28 my surgeons office approved 3 weeks off, but I'm asking for an extra week. Im a CNA, and I work on a lock down dementia unit (very labor intensive, and unpredictable) I don't have a light duty option where I work, so I'm taking the extra time to be safe.

I have the opposite problem, I'm 16 days post op too, and I haven't had anything that wasn't pure liquid, like clear with a little sediment. I hope you find relief and something to help you out.

I think you will find that everyone is different- including your before and after taste-buds. I loved a certain Protein shake before, now I can't stomach it. The good thing is that the liquid diet is only for a week or so, so you'll be ok.
BTW I like Jay Robb whey Protein vanilla.

I got mine on Friday.... and I did that Isopure before surgery and found it to be gross.. Since surgery EVERYTHING makes me nauseous .. the thought of drinking that nasty stuff now makes me even more sick.

I had my VSG yesterday and so far so good. No bad nausea or pain just sore at incision sites and the continual sipping is a pain but better safe than sorry. Try Core Power Protein shake in chocolate, it is very tasty. The also have vanilla, which I haven't tried yet. Best of luck! You'll do great

im excited, but a little nervous. my question right now for you wonderful people is this.. what is the best and most cost effective clear Liquid Protein option for me to try while on my 7 - 10 day clear liquid post op diet? ive read and re read everything they have given me, and i just think instead of eating Jello and broth and diluted juices that i would rather have something i know is good for my body. i just figured that having the Protein wouldnt hurt anything, but since i am impatient and plan on asking about it in the morning i thought some of you may have some advice and insight for me right now. thanks!!!

Good luck lady. You'll be fine. Keep you lifted up in prayer????

My doctor recommended Isopure. Got it at GNC. Needed 80 grams of Protein a day, so 2 bottles every day. Did that for 4 days when I got home from surgery. Started full liquids today.

Thank you and congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

you look amazing!!!! my sleeve surgery is in 8 days!!! so inspirational

I haven't told anyone but my immediate family about my surgery so personally I haven't had many of those comments. But I know others who have
Mainly people seem to think that surgery is "cheating" that you could have just exercised and ate less and that was it. Well that doesn't work for everyone. There are people who can do that and be successful long term, but most people can't. How many of us have cut calories, exercised,starved ourselves, only to have lost just a few pounds.
Surgery is just another tool in the battle to loose weight. All the surgery did was change the shape of my stomach. I still decide what goes in my stomach, and I still have to choose to exercise. I can be bad and eat junk post surgery and gain weight, or I can be good and follow the plan and loose weight. The surgery was just a bit of help, most of the work is still up to me

I just updated my weight and saw my BMI.. I'm officially 'OVERWEIGHT'! Goodbye OBESE!!!

Congrats! My sleeve was done in APR as well and I'm down 117. I started at 414....can't wait to look like you!!

I'm scheduled for 2/13/17.
My first appointment was back on 10/13. After that appointment, I stopped snacking and drinking alcohol. I started using MyFitnessPal to track calories. I managed to lose a quick 30 pounds in two months. The first 30 lbs is always the easiest to lose and the quickest to regain. I figured that I'll lose the "easy" weight on my own and then get help from the sleeve to finish the job. I hope to have lost 50 lbs before the time of surgery.
